Red wine was alright.

Clericot -- very good, highly recommended. A bit on the sweet side for me personally though.

Previous REVIEW BELOW for reference --

House red wine - good.

Pizza - A

Clericot - A • A bit weak but fruity and not too sweet. Perfect. Could have had more alcohol

Mushroom risotto - A (updated 7/15/2023) flavorful. Rice cooked Al dente. Tip: order it to share with some other side dishes like some greens salad and a small protein like jamón serrano.

And we had to prepare our oil and vinegar ourselves. None of these individually are big complaints, but all together they took away from the experience being as good as it...

I generally do not give reviews unless there is a compelling reason. It’s a pleasant setting, but how this restaurant has positive reviews is puzzling. The salad was all wilted and soggy as if the lettuce and arugula were days old and tried to be brought back to life by drowning in dressing. The two slices of tomato were inedible and were only identifiable as a tomato by the shape. The pasta was tasteless (I mean tasteless) and so overcooked that it almost became one solid lump. Obviously, the cook does not understand al dente. Without exaggerating, it was clearly the worst “Italian” meal I have ever eaten. The service was slightly better although the wait staff were polite. And, it is modestly over priced even if it...
